South Asian dishes, and more specifically those from Sri Lanka & South India, have long been recognised for their use of unique herbs and spices. These contribute to a special encounter which engages the senses to a whole new level. The aromatic smell will ignite your hunger, the variety of colours will visually stimulate your appetite, and ultimately the scintillating taste will surely leave your taste buds yearning for more.  

Using the right blend and quantity of ingredients for each individual dish takes years of experience to reach perfection – a level which we have achieved and strive to maintain. At Sayan Sri Catering, this is the biggest attribute we hold to ensure that our dishes retain that sought after authentic taste – it is as close as you’ll get to experience the fine food of Sri Lanka itself.  

At the heart of our kitchen is our head chef, Srinihila (or Sri for short), and she forms the foundation which Sayan Sri is built on. Sri was born and raised in Chunnakam, Jaffna (North Sri Lanka). The youngest of 5 children, she grew up learning how to cook all the dishes that are available on our menu today. Learning at a young age from her mother, she honed and perfected recipes that have been inherited from generation to generation. After arriving in the UK in 1986 with her husband and first son, Sayanthan, she renewed her love for cooking by catering for friends & family which led to hundreds of functions, helping her realise that this was her true passion and calling in life.  

We welcome you to take a read through our menu and explore the wide range of dishes that we have to offer. We’re waiting for your call and we hope you enjoy your experience with Sayan Sri.
